Biopol jargon....? (1 Viewer)

[countrydude]

In the first core you have to reasearch a biopolymer.

I am doing biopol.

Biopol is a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). It is a co-polymer made from two monomers polyhdroxybutyrate(PHB) and polyhydroxyvalerate(PHV).

What i am asking is that do i need to know those bloody hudge bulls*hit words or will PHA and PHB etc. do for top marks?????

thanks

Don't think it'd be so hard to remember them.. just read them everyday like a prayer before night.

God, please assist me in remembering the name of polyhydroxybutyrate..

btw you also need to know the history of it's development, i believe.

Hmmm thanks, but would i be marked down for just knowing the abbrivations?

They might ask "What does PHA stand for ?"

then you can't put PHA

youre wrong i think...isnt it alicagenes eutrophus? go check roland smith

 

[iambored]

we just have to do pha / ph bi think
and i write a.eutrophus. i should probably check it out though

 

[hipsta_jess]

write it once, the first time, then after it put (pha) or (phb) in brackets, then afterwards for that question you can just use the abbreviations

i remember alicagenes Eutrophus because my 70 year old chemistry tutor was explaining it to me and amongst his spit her said "Alicagenes eutrophus...sounds like a pop band!"

Using the terminology demonstrates a thorough knowledge of your subject matter. So try to remember the words if you can.

Mr O said that, how funny! He is a funny man!!!!! You seriously need a raincoat when learning about saponification or le chateliers!!! I just remember alcagenies eutrophus for some reason. Weird words stick in my head.

If I have trouble remembering long words or quotes I put them to a rhythm or a tune. It helps me.
